NBC Air 911 Truth Hit Piece on History Channel

[Me]

Here’s a breakdown of the History Channel hit piece in a nutshell. Boy was this ever a highly unprofessional, condescending, biased work of ad hominem propaganda. Conspiracy theorists were derided throughout the program as being ignorant, mean and kooky with no personal lives. On the other hand, the Popular Mechanics editors were given the last word on each and every subject along with the undeserving title of “expert”. To the best of my knowledge, not one of the pencil pushing staff members have any credentials that are relevant to any aspect of 9/11 truth. Of course it was the conspiracy theorists that were accused of not having anyone of the valid expertise necessary for stating their assertions logically. They do this by completely ignoring the very existence and works of groups like architects and engineers for 9/11 and Pilots for 9/11 truth. Also just as expected, the History Channel failed to disclose the Chertoff connection and other major conflicts of interests that have clearly drastically compromised the research and conclusions of their so-called “experts”. It was disingenuous and deceptive from the very start. It only got worse.

They made the claim that the fires did not have to melt the steel in order for the buildings to have collapsed. They even admit that the fires did not burn hot enough to melt the steel. What they completely ignored is the undeniable fact that steel was observed and analyzed as having been melted by firefighters and experts alike. So we’re left wondering how exactly it was that steel was found in a molten state if as they had clearly stated themselves, it couldn’t have happened in the first place? The NY Times referred to this phenomenon as being “perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered” and yet just like NIST, the History Channel and Popular Mechanics simply chose to ignore it.

They decided to only show the 90-foot hole in the Pentagon that occurred twenty minutes after the initial impact of the plane rather than showing us the most important photo of the much smaller hole that was only roughly sixteen feet wide immediately after impact. Another very convenient omission of crucial evidence.

And then there was the comment of FDNY Chief of Safety Albert Turi. NBC reporter Pat Dawson claimed that what Turi actually said was that he had heard explosions, not bombs. But that was a total lie according to Dawson’s own account, “reports of a secondary device, that is another ‘bomb’ going off”.

NBC ignored its own report:

As we can see, Mr. Dawson has a personal vendetta against the 9/11 truth movement.:

A few key points ignored by the hit piece.

No mention of the multiple news reports that reported building seven as having collapse before it ever did.

No mention of Pakistan’s ISI Chief (the alleged “money man” behind 9/11) meeting in Washington the very morning of 9/11.


These are just a few points off the top of my head. I’ll have more to add as my memory becomes refreshed. There was just so much that was either ignored, misconstrued or outright false in this piece.

[Me]

One of their so-called expert engineers contradicted the previous claims of their other experts at Popular Mechanics. The engineer claimed that the near-perfect exit hole in the C-ring of the Pentagon was created by a collective mass of debris that formed as the plane broke apart upon impact. I believe the word he used was “avalanche”. That’s strange because PM on the other hand has previously informed us that it was created by the landing gear (I believe they said this on Democracy Now). Which “expert” are we to believe when they contradict one another?

Can someone please explain to me why ANYONE, would want to defend and protect mass murderers?, even if those murderers were part of a goverment.

This is really one thing that baffles me.

To do this puts the life of every american citizen at risk.

And indeed the whole world at risk.

Surely the best thing to do in the intrests of everybodys safety is to expose them.

[Rowan Berkeley]

They just haven't adjusted to the Internet age - they still think old fashioned news management will keep the lid on.

[TonyGosling]

Correct - they need exposing
Why do they do it - because they're ignorant pack animals who follow the money
But i their heart of hearts they must know what they're doing.
They're not interested in truth or history - just where the next whacking great paycheck is coming from
And a promise of glory

[Louise]

It's sick Tony, really sick.

Human life and safety is more important than money, every time.

Nice one Gareth
Government Approved History

".......Tonight’s History Channel program on 9/11 Conspiracies – Fact or Fiction shows how powerful our movement has become, and how contemptible our opposition is. The deck was stacked, the animations were distorted and fantastic, and the framework was rather nasty, but this was of course NBC News, read GE, which is now a hedge fund in drag........"

You'll recognize some of what I wrote above in this counter-piece.

I have a hunch that the History Channel is going to edit out many of the errors that truthers have pointed out before it airs again. The program was supposed to air again this afternoon but it’s no longer listed. I have a feeling that it’s scrub time and Pat Dawson’s comments will be removed and denied.

I could be wrong....

I'm hoping that someone has the original broadcast recorded so that we can compare and contrast any changes that they might make. They already delayed the air date once seemingly responding to criticisms.

Found this website about 911.

It seems like it's trying to debunk people like us:

http://www.911myths.com/index.html

It says for example that there is an airport very near to the pentagon where ordinary planes overfly the pentagon to get to the airport.

So there can be no restricted airspace around the pentagon and no missile defences.

Is this site just made up by someone, someone working for the goverment maybe and is just a big pack of lies and deceptions.

[Dstevo]

Hi Louise,
They maybe right about an airport being nearby, but the Pentagon sits in P56 Airspace, this means that any planes taking off or coming into land have to veer sharply to avoid flying over the Pentagon.

Not too sure about the missile defences, but it is definitely restricted airspace, you can be sure that a 'hijacked jet' heading toward the Pentagon with it's transponder switched off SHOULD be of some concern, but according to OCTers it's nothing unusual because there was an airport nearby

[Louise]

The goverment is going to put out a lot of disinfo to try to cover it's tracks and try to counter people like us Dstevo.

There as slippery as a bar of soap.

But i know we'll nail them in the end and they'll pay for their crimes .

Anyone who claims the Pentagon doesn't have state-of-the-art anti-aircraft defenses is having a little joke - because, obviously, you can't say anything about these defenses without breaking US law. Not even David Young of Cryptome has ever detailed these defenses, AFAIK, presumably because to do so would be to be locked up for a good few years without any dispute whatsoever being legally conceivable.

[gareth]

Is the programme being seeded anywhere? I want to see it

It's ok, i've done a bit of reserch into Ronald Reagan National Airport and it says:

"Prior to September 11, 2001, the most notable security measure was the southbound approach into the airport. Most of central Washington D.C. is prohibited airspace up to 18,000 feet. Due to this restriction, pilots approaching from the north follow the path of the Potomac River and make a steep turn shortly before landing on the southbound runaway. This approach is known as the River Visual and is commonly cited as one of the most challenging approaches in the world.[citation needed] Similarly, flights taking off to the north are required to climb quickly and take a steep left turn, to avoid contact with the Washington Monument or flight over the White House or Pentagon."

So it is restricted airspace indeed, just like Dstevo said (thanks Dstevo), and it probably is defended by mssiles allthough i am still trying to confirm this.

Can anyone else give me a site whitch shows that the pentagon is defended by missiles?.

Also i saw on a programme called "dreamland" how agressively the USA defends its restricted airspace.

The person hosting the programme got a little single engine plane and came within a mile of the restricted airspace of Area 51.

He (an the pilot) were intercepted by 2 fully armed F-16 fighters.

History Channel tries to pass off ytmnd joke site "Jews Did WTC" as real 9-11 truth site!
Signs of the Times, Aug 22, 2007
http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/138630-History+Channel +tries+to+pass+off+ytmnd+joke+site+%22Jews+Did+WTC%22+as+real+9-11+tru th+site%21

If you watched the History Channel '9/11 Conspiracies' show last night, you may have noticed how right off the bat they went for the old guilt by association method of associating truthers with the practically nonexistent "Jews did it" crowd. What you may have missed is that in the end of the segment they do a slow zoom into a website in an "evil type way", with the implication it was a truther website, which says "JEWS DID WTC" and flashes Stars of David, the twin towers, and other 9/11 related pictures. What they didn't mention was that this site is a ytmnd parody site! You can see the site right here: http://jewswtc.ytmnd.com/. The history channel is so desperate to slander 9/11 truth that they actually attempted to link the movement to a ridiculous ytmnd parody site! Talk about desperation!

Wells sus that it goes out on holiday time and not on the sixth anniversary, which would seem a more appropriate screen time. It seems designed to attack the upcoming wearechange/infowars new york event. felt a bit sore for the loose change crew. They seem to be more cogniscent of the nest of vipers the media are.
looks like rent a mouth Coburn is having a show lined up for himself. "Popular Mechanics" on The Mystery Channel. The other bozo from PM unconsciously expresses it in his put down of Avery and crew.
